Any Grez "Mendocino" owners?

These look like cool little guitars, surprised there's not much talk on them here ... I know Tim Lerch has some vids playing Grez archtops; any Mendocino owners?

I actually used to own the first Mendocino. They’re really impressive, super resonant, and great for jazz. Eventually sold it because I realized I’m not a fan of gold foils. With other pickups they’re hard to beat for comfort and tone.

I have one with Lollar Throbak PAF humbuckers, very light and resonant guitar. Acoustic sound is very pleasing and unexpected from the size.

Gold foils? What's that? Thanks
